Anthony Stover, dismissed from the UCLA program Monday for failing to meet NCAA eligibility requirements, apologized on Twitter to “all those I’ve disappointed.”

A 6-10 junior from Pasadena, Calif., Stover played two seasons for the Bruins in a limited role, averaging 0.5 points and 1.5 rebounds as a sophomore. However, he was a proficient shot-blocker, collecting 39 rejections in only 8.5 minutes per game.

The Bruins, preparing for a trip to China later this month, announced that Stover had been dismissed effective immediately.

“We had high expectations for him, and we were looking forward to getting increased contributions from him during this coming season,” UCLA coach Ben Howland said in a statement.

Stover made several posts to his Twitter account subsequent to the announcement, saying initially he was “learning from my mistakes and moving on” and calling his time at UCLA a “great learning experience.”

Stover thanked those who supported him and issued his apology: "Most of all, I would like to apologize to my coaching staff, teammates and all of Bruin nation. Please forgive me.”
